Subject: LA Area Robotics and Automation Symposium

The L.A. Area Robotics and Automation Symposium is nearing its final form. 
Attached is the current schedule.  I look forward to welcoming you and your
colleagues to UCI, Friday, November 18, 1994.

Please call Jennifer Chien (714-856-5406) and give her the names of everyone
you expect will attend so we can reserve a lunch and have enough pastries
for breakfast.  Also tell her if you need a reservation at the Hyatt
Regency.  Her e-mail address is jchien@uci.edu.  The deadline for
registration is Friday, November 12, 1994.

Best regards,
Mike
